Will one of our biggest ski mountains go indie? Plus, the cost of dirtbagging, confusion at Yosemite (and everywhere, really), a propane upgrade, a POEM, fire followers, and lots more!
Thanks for the great book recs! Beautyland sounds intriguing and I'll be looking into it further today. Love me some Chandler...I'm sure you've read the other famous Raymond (Carver)...but if not, I'd strongly recommend!
And thanks for the poem. "Wore grooves in my palms.." what a lovely line.
I am dreading what will probably happen to our public lands. Backpackers like me can escape into the back county but we need trailhead facilities, rangers, and a functioning permit system.
And as a Wilderness Travel Course instructor, paper maps FTW! While we are starting to introduce our students to GPS apps, we will always teach map and compass navigation.
Paper maps for life, indeed!
